Now that I have the Player's Handbook, I have access to all Backgrounds that didn't appear in the Basic Rules. I have just updated that original post to included stuff for the new Backgrounds.

It also occurred to me that some of the 0-level weapon tables gave PCs armor or shields, but since classless 0-levels have no armor proficiencies (unless you're a Mountain Dwarf), they are going to have Disadvantage on a ton of rolls if they use that armor. I considered getting rid of the armor on the lists, but I decided that the image of a untrained pseudo-hero staggering around in padded armor was kind of charming, so I kept it. It will be up to the individual player if the armor's protection outweighs the potential handicap.

"Thanks for visiting!"

Who I Am

I am a long-time gamer who enjoys both new-style story games and old-style OSR stuff. I love drawing maps and goofy monsters. I help write, layout, and illustrate games for Hex Games, and I keep taking stabs at creating webcomics with mixed results. I talk about RPGs (and other things) at my Bernie the Flumph blog.
